Captain David has been fishing these waters since he was a kid with his father.he has a lot of experience and knows all the best fishing spots in the area. His favorite part of the job is being out on the sea, the water is his biggest passion. 'My dad has been a fisherman all his life and I was born in that environment and went on fishing charters since I was a young boy.'

    Perfect Trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Deep Sea 4 MAX • 6 adults • 2 children

    Took the family on a 4hr trip witb Captain David. He was awesome. Had great knowledge of the water knew where the fish were and put us on the fish quick. Had our 8&11yos on the trip and Capt made them feel right at home. Guided them on exactly what to do and had them fighting fish quickly. I would highly recommend Cayman Live Bait to anyone looking catch fish and have an excellent captain. I will fish with Captin David and crew anytime I come to the Caymans

    Half day PM fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Deep Sea 4 MAX

    This was our second time fishing with Captain David and his first mate, David. We had an excellent time and caught blackfin tuna, barracuda, Jackfish, and blue runner fish. Captain David works hard to make your fishing trip enjoyable. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and wants everyone to have an excellent and fun experience. He knows the ocean well and where the hotspots are in the area. We will continue to seek him for our future adventure when we are on vacation in the Cayman Islands. Highly recommended!! We also had probably another six or seven good hits, but because we are amateur fisherman, we lost them!😂🤪. I would encourage you to book your next fishing adventure with “Cayman Live Bait,” you will not be disappointed. A+++++

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda

    Incredible fishing&snorkling

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Stingray Tour • 4 adults

    We had an amazing time on this trip! We caught three barracudas, and the captain also took us to an incredible stingray snorkeling spot. The captain was extremely nice, professional, and friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. The fish was absolutely delicious as well. This was such a memorable experience — highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for great fishing, snorkeling, and an awesome captain!

    great time!

    Half Day Reef 4 hour trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We ended up switching to a deep sea trip and it was a great time. Captian David works hard to find fish and has a wealth of knowledge of the waters. This was our third trip with him over the years and we have always enjoyed ourselves.

    Response from Captain

    thank you my brother looking forward to seeing and fishing with you and your Son in the near future…

What's biting with Cayman Live Bait in George Town

October is still a good time for big game Tuna fishing. Head out to the trench and deep drop for Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna or troll for Skipjack. You'll also be able to target Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, and Mangrove Snapper in the shallows if you wish to stay closer to shore.
